Taylor Swift is known for weaving her personal experiences into her music, and it seems she’s once again drawing from her tumultuous past with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. The iconic feud, which dates back to 2016, appears to have resurfaced with the release of a live recording of Swift’s song thanK you aIMee. The subtle yet pointed changes in the song’s title and lyrics have sparked speculation that the Look What You Made Me Do singer isn’t ready to bury the hatchet just yet. The original track, thanK you aIMee, ignited buzz when fans noticed the capitalized letters spelling out ’KIM,’ seemingly taking a swipe at Kardashian.
As per Mirror, the lyrics themselves hinted at the tension, “There’s a bronze spray-tanned statue of you and a plaque underneath it / That threatens to push me down the stairs, at our school.” But in this newly released live version, Swift made an even bolder move. The song’s title now reads thank You aimEe, with the capitalized “Y” and “E” drawing attention to West’s new name, Ye.
The lyrics too, have been tweaked, with lines, “Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman, but she used to say she wished that you were dead… And so I changed your name, and any real defining clues / And one day, your kid comes home singin’ a song that only us two is gonna know is about you.
